Winner of the 2003 Atlantic Poetry Prize

Opening the Island is the highly anticipated first book of poetry
by one of Canada's most lyrical voices. Always critical, often iconographic, Anne
Compton plumbs the classic themes of life, art, love, and home which are masterfully
reshaped into a contemporary landscape rich in colour and folds of metaphor.

The result is a rhythm of expression, a texture and critique that weave
through the day-to-day, yet strike toward the transcendental.
